Russian Drones Damage Power Substation in Odesa Region

Russian drones damaged a power substation in Ukraine's southern Odesa region on Wednesday, while Moscow's forces repeatedly attacked areas in regions farther east, killing one person, Ukrainian officials said.



Emergency services were at the site of the substation attack and no injuries had been recorded, Odesa regional Governor Oleh Kiper said on Telegram.



DTEK, a large private energy company, said one of its substations had been damaged and crews were awaiting word that it was safe to begin repairs. DTEK said the region had been under Russian attack "almost round the clock".



Energy infrastructure has been under attack in Ukraine for many months. The Black Sea port of Odesa, vital to many Ukrainian exports, and areas in the surrounding region, have been frequent targets of the Russian military in four years of conflict.
